Charles Hoskinson, the founder of competitor blockchain Cardano, predicts Bitcoin will hit a quarter of a million dollars by the end of 2025. Indeed, Hoskinson’s prediction is counting on growing adoption of cryptocurrency. It takes into account the arrival of institutional players and possible regulatory change in the United States. He thinks that geopolitical tensions are only making the case for crypto as a global solution stronger.
Hoskinson was very positive about the prospects for both the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act. These two bills being debated in Congress today would create a consistent regulatory framework for stablecoins.
56 Hoskinson anticipates speculative interest will drive prices increasing over the next six to twelve months. He expects that trend to start late summer or early fall. He proposed the possibility of an upcoming market pause over the next three to five months.
Hoskinson’s remarks coincided with Bitcoin’s resurgence, following the price crashing to under $77,000. This steep fall was exclusively due to that global uncertainty that you saw after tariff announcements were made.
He downplayed the current tariff mess as a short-term bump in the road. Hoskinson continued, saying that the global market would find its balance when U.S.-Chinese trade tensions are worked out.
"So treaties don’t really work so well, and global business doesn’t really work so well there" - Charles Hoskinson.
Hoskinson called attention to the limitations of treaties and global business structures. He believes that crypto will be perhaps the only alternative way to globalize business. He believes that governments and corporations are turning to crypto more and more as an alternative way to achieve globalization.
Hoskinson is still bullish on Bitcoin’s future as more institutional players join the market, making his prediction even more solid.
